FIELD PEAS FOR SHEEP.
How This Excellent Crop should lie
Cultivated and How Fed.

How This Excellent Crop should lie
Cultivated and How Fed.
Field peas are specially well adapted
for feeding sheep, for wool is a nitro
genous product. and the pea is well
adapted to its growth. Corn, as a
single food, is too poor in nitrogen to
produce the best growth Of wool. II is
for this reason that clover hay is recon-
meuded to be fed with corn. Clover
and rcas both belong to the class of
leguminous plants, but the pea is richer
in nitrogen. Peas and corn balance
each other--the pea being rich in that
in which corn is deficient.
When the crop is cut while green,
and when the PEAS are just beginning
to form in the pod, it is cured with as
much care as nice clover. and is
fed the same as hay. 1t is very
nutritious, If well cured. as it con-
tais the nutriment of stalk and grain.
The nutrment which would have
gone into the grain to perfect it, had it
ripene !, is left in the stalk. 1t is rich
in albuminoids, or legumen; is excel
lent for growing the frame and muscu-
lar system of lambs and young eep.
and is also most appropriate food for
breeding ewes. When the crop is al
lowed to ripen so far as to give a good
berry to the grain, it is cured aud
threshed, and the grain and straw fed
separately. It is cut while the straw is
yet green. and, whei nicely cured, has
feeding value about equal to common
hay, for sheep. Peas make most ex-
cei,ent winter food for breeding, store
or fattening sheep. For lambs, the
first winter, they can hardly be ex-
celled. In cool climate, it is well to
add some corn. this having more starch
and oil.
As to the time for planting peas. the
